There's a reason platoon players exist in real life... I hate carrying someone who mashes from 1 side to only use as a PH. It's a stupid workaround they put in years ago to stop people from quitting games when they see their opponent's starting pitcher's handedness. They don't even need to go as far as having preset lineups (based obviously on your 25 man squad) if they would at least show you in the set lineup screen if you are facing a LH/RH. Otherwise all these guys with trash stats from 1 side never get starts.

I play with auto baserunning on and I love that I'm able to override CPU decisions and try for an extra base or stop an overly aggressive runner. I find the baserunning controls way too difficult when there are multiple baserunners and auto + manual override has been my favorite way of playing since they introduced. it. With this change, I can't do that, I have no idea where anyone is. Just hit a ball down the line, is my runner going for 2? Where is he when the fielder gets to the ball? Should I send him back to first? Was he even trying for second? Do I need to change my in play view to retro so I can see the [censored] runner? Why would they make this change? I literally do not want to boot it back up until they revert this.
